Where are we today Hyunseok Kim9G Hyunseok Kim The Age of Exploration Is there evidence here that Zhu Di truly did not understand what was happening to his rule?
Zhu Di truly did not understand what was happening to his rule because he was seriously ill. He was issued a series of ill-conceived decrees. Zhu Di was plagued and he had several strokes during previous years. Also, these strokes were treated with arsenic and mercury. Arsenic and mercury probably was poisoned him and became crazy.
List all the things that happened to the old emperor near the end of his life.
-political problems
-the construction of Forbidden City, the Grand Canal, the fleet of treasure ships and the repair of hundreds of miles of the Great Wall had placed enormous strains on China’s economy.
-Falling of the cast hardwood forests had provoked rebellions in Annam and Vietnam.
-Uprisings caused Native literature to be burnt and works of art to be destroyed.
All voyages of the treasure ships are to be stopped." Explain how this edict changed the history of not only China but of the WORLD. How did this leave open the "door" for Europe to take center stage now?
The edict changed history because, do to this fact, China was not able to spread their work of technology and new ideas to people. Unlike the Europeans, China was not able to travel with their treasure ships and China did not travel to trade that often with such a foreigners. If China shared their great knowledge to the world, the societies would have been able to develop much faster. Also, It opened the 'door' for Europe because, meanwhile, when China was not able to travel and conquer part of the world, Europe started to trade and spread their knowledge to the world. What route might they have all taken? Describe it...
The King of England would take a ship to France, Castille, Portugal, or Byzantium.The the ship will go down to South Africa following it’s coast and make it back up to the Indian ocean and go between Malaysia and up near Korea and Japan.
Look carefully at the Yuan and Ming Dynasties and make some generalizations about China under those dynasties. Size? Change from previous dynasties? From your reading, make any observations you can about the two time periods.
The territories of previous dynasties in China displays China's expansion toward today's shape. As it reaches the year of 1000BCE in the Zhou Dynasty it changes it’s form and shape of the land until they get to the Qing Dynasty. China relatively has a big history so, the land will change it’s form.
Using your math skills, refer to the following map and figure out how big that new capital would be.
It housed fifty times people in london so, it’s population would have been 12,500,000 people.
The Forbidden City is now the Palace Museum, and is located at the centre of the map below: Can you find the old city in the modern city? Where is it? What is there now?
The map named “Beijing city wall” was at Zhu Di's time, and the one displaying the Beijing’s current structure is the map called beijing-map-overview. The two maps are identical to make us understand more easily and today’s Imperial city is located near by a department store and a grand hotel. Back then, it was consisted of traditional works.
If it WAS, where would it reach if it began at the Yalu River? Use the map in MWH Atlas p A18-19 to estimate where you would end up if the wall really extended 6,400 kms due west of Beijing.
If the wall extended to the west of Beijing for 6,400 kilometers, I believe it will end at today's Kazakhstan, approximately.
Through what MODERN countries did the silk roads go?
The Silk Road of the time went through modern countries such as Turkey, Iran, Iraq, Kazakhstan, India, and China.
In 1525, He gained control of the southeastern Europe . Also, He gained control in the Mediterranean Sea and some part in North Africa. He also had to structural government.
Despite their brilliant rule, what critical mistake did Suleiman and Shah Abbas make?
When Suleiman and Shah Abbas killed their best talented sons believing that they would overthrow them when they get older, They didn't think about the future. Now their worst son became the king and the empire had fallen.
What evidence of cultural blending can you find in Akbar's rule?
Ardu.. which the official language of the pakistan people. It's mixed with many languages.
How did Akbar's successors contribute to the end of the Mughal Empire?
The successors of Akbar, came up with new ideas not like Akbar's. They put on taxes more which led to poverty of people and the successors strong desires enabled other empires to destroy such one.
What were the CAUSES of the Scientific Revolution? Which one do you think is MOST significant AND WHY?
The causes of the scientific revolution were the combinations of the discoveries and the questioning. During the time period, where many of the people traveled to places to places and discover new things. They also learned the cultures of different countries. Encountering of the new ideas and beliefs Europeans were opened to change. I believe that the most significant cause was that the people began to question the people. When they question thing, they get suspicious and start to test their hypothesis again and again.
Why might those in positions of authority at the time (Church and government) tend to reject new ideas?
Church and government were the main authority at the time. The church basically controlled the government and the church were suppose to be always right because the " words of god" were suppose to be true all the time. Since the new scholars were suggesting new ideas that opposed the church's ideas, people started to re-consider.
Do you agree with Galileo's actions during his trial? Explain.
Yes, i agree withe Galileo's actions during his trial. Galileo’s actions of claiming Copernicus’ ideas were false is utterly understandable. At this time, the church authorities would have done everything to prove that whatever the church said was correct.
Make a list of the major figures of this revolution in thinking and what they did.
Copernicus - Introduced the Heliocentric theory Galileo- Built a telescope, found Jupiter had 4 moons Bacon and Descartes- came up with scientific methods, scientist shall experiment and then draw conclusions to prove their theories Newton- the three laws of motion that affect to every object with mass.
Explain the significance of these terms:
Geocentric - The view that earth was the center of the universe.
Heliocentric - The view that the sun was the center of the universe.
Scientific revolution -a new way of thinking about the natural world as the scholars replaced old assumptions with new theories, launching a change in European thought. Scientists based their way of thinking on careful observation and willingness to question accepted beliefs.
Scientific method - The scientific method is still significant to this day because it is a guideline for scientists, mathematicians, and even philosophers follow to prove their ideas. It is a process of solving a problem with logic, observation, and experiments. This leads people to present precise information to the public with logical evidence.
9/05/2011 How did the Renaissance contribute to the opening of the mind in Europe?
The Renaissance contributed to the opening of the mind in Europe because, during the renaissance period, people gathered up and brought in new ideas. Before the renaissance period, it was the Middle ages. The government lost all it's powers and the Church was the head of everything. Such as politics, science and the government was controlled by the church. When the people started to question the church and correct the false ideas everything seemed to develop in Europe. One of the most significant finding was that the idea that the Earth is center of the universe was wrong and corrected by heliocentrism. Which the sun was center of the universe and earth rotates around it. Also, there was a huge step farther about art and literature. People who were excellent in many areas; art, science, literature like Leonardo da Vinci, were stated as a Renaissance men. These men had crucial effects during these time periods. Humanism had a great effect on the Europeans minds and the beliefs. When the people questioned and corrected the false statements from the church, it brought in new ideas that opened the mind of people in Europe.
8/31/2011 Why did Europe gain dominance?
Europe gained dominance because, As Europe starts to develop so they became dominant to the world. When Geocentric universe was wrong and heliocentric was discovered, they started to question everything. Men questioned everything so they were able to develop more farther. Also When they were fully occupied with overseas trading, they gained more money, they had a more chance to develop.

1. How did the cities of Italy help create the Renaissance?
Italy became a more developed with the help of the trades. Soon, Italy became occupied with large cities. With some parts being still urban. Since In cities of Italy, many gathers and exchange ideas and thoughts. This helped create the Renaissance.
2. What is your opinion of the Medici family?
They were a dictator and was a great patron of the arts, but still showed some of democracy. Also, they encouraged things about art and they made their manuscript libraries to the public society.
3. How did Humanism influence Renaissance ideas?
Humanism lead the people to emphasize the Greek values. It didn't compare it to the churches and more to the human body and nature. Influenced arts, and architectures.
4. Why did church leaders and wealthy merchants support the arts?
The wealthy and the church leaders had their portrait painted because, By doing this, They thought that they could emphasize their importance to the society.
5. What were the similarities and differences between upper-class Renaissance men and women?
Women's were expected to study, and master the skills of arts just like an upper class men but, they were not allowed to express any. They had servants and had to keep the house in shape.
6. After reading the "Analyzing Primary Sources" box, respond to this question: Do the qualities called for in the ideal Renaissance man and woman seem to emphasize the individual or the group? Give evidence in the documents to back up your answer!
heretical - Something that most people think is wrong
faggot - A bundle of sticks or twigs
Eucharist - Christian ceremony commemorating the Last Supper
abstain - To hold back someone from
penance - A punishment
beseeching - To ask someone eagerly
source - A place, person, or thing from which something comes or can be obtained
1. In section 1, Heretical Belifs, the historian gives his account of a historical event. What is happening to Hogsflesh? What is the historian's "story" or main point of the article? Hogflesh is forced to complete his penance for saying that no-one needs to honor the Virgin Mary and Christ's body was not present in the Eucharist. His penance was admitting his heresy and going around the markets with the faggot in his hands. By using this 2. What are the roles of a historian defined by John Arnold? Do you agreee or disagree with his assumptions? Can you think of any other roles? The roles of a historian is to report what recoreds say and also interpret the gaps and contradictions. I agree with the role that John Arnold came upon with because, historians have to interpret for themselves that a way that they could understand better. 3. What is meant by "treat(ing) their sources with fidelity?" Remember to put your reponse in your own words. Why is it important to remember this when reading historical references? Treat their sources with fidelity basically means that they are not making up stuffs. They are recording the information form their source as facts. This is important because historical references have to be reliable and accurate in order to learn what happened in that time of era.
4. How can a single event be interpreted in more than one way? Can you think of an event in your life that historians could interpret with differeing points of view? Recently, during the summer break I went to several differnet libraries where I read, and did my homeoworks from hagwon. It was in the morning when a girl came in and sat down in front of me. After few minutes she went out from the library. I was wondering why she left so early and left things behind. Like an hour later, a women came in. She had wet hair and she was in hurry. She snatched the girls bag that was infront of me and ran out. I knew that she was a thief. She ran to the girls bathroom. I waited and waited her to come out. Instead, a pretty young lady came out. Yes, the girl who sat in front of me went to her house to get a shower and did her make-ups in the bathroom.
5. Talk to a family member or friends about something that happened to you both long time ago. Examine how you both remember the incident and write about it. With that in mind, when attaching meaning to history, is it possible for a historian to be completely objective? Use examples from the incident you just discussed to reinforce your response. When I was young, our family used to go to a lot of trips overboard and inside Korea. One day we went to this mountain called "Soraksan". I was 4years old and could barely run. When we were about to go up the stairs I remeber someone pushed me and triped over a large chain. My parents they told me that it was windy, and i have just tripped over a dog chain. I think when we are young and don't really know about the world, we have different perspectives.
6. What problems may arise when historians practice subjective history? In what ways may subjective history be beneficial to the study of history? Think back to the incident you just discussed with your family member or friend. Why did it make sense for you to remember the event the way you did and for the other person to remember it the way he or she did? What todes this tell us about history? When historicans practice subjective history, there is always a historian favoring one side, the other favouring the other sides. It can be beneficial because one could probably understand better in one historians point of view than others. As I stated earlier, when we are young and don't know the world so much, we have different persepective than the our parents because they have lived so long.
7. Why is every historian "a storyteller?" If all historians are storytellers and there are myriad versions of every story, can we trust historicans? Why or why not? Historians are a stroyteller because they list what happened in the past to make it more appealing to someone or some group. I believe we could trust historians because, almost every story of a historian looks similar to the other. Also, historians might agree on something and make it all congruent for each sotry.
8. How did our view of history and historians change based on this reading? How will you approach history now that you have explored these views? I thought that every thing we learn in history class in accurate and is true for everyother classes. After reading, I've noticed that it is not always true and historians are storytellers. From now on, I would approach history lot slower than i did before. Before, history just menat memorizing facts to me. Now, I have understand their cultures, and view the perspective of every historian to figure out accurate information. Why is an understanding of culture necessary in order to understand History?
It is necessary to understand culture in order to understand history. By understanding the culture of a group or a person you could simply figure out the aspects of that history. One could easily understand why the group or a person might have decided to act. For example, it is commonly known culture of Korea that a younger one must bow to show respect to an older person. Culture is basically known as the way people live. Beliefs of people is an important part of a culture. Buddhism is commonly practiced in areas Such as China, Mongolia, and several other places in Asia. If one were to learn about Asian cultures, I don't believe that one would focus on chirstianity or depend their ideas on it. I think culture shapes peoples' view of the world. Sociofact is the most interesting category of the elements of culture. Looking at the beginning of America, the colonies gathered up and formed states to revolt against Great Britain. Able to understand the culture of the specific area, period and group of people is crucial to understanding history.
